Took this years ago with dual purpose of treating acne and as birth control. Was moved onto Yasmin as told couldn’t get it anymore. This didn’t agree and came off altogether.
About 5 months later acne returned with a vengeance, went on accutane, and whilst skin on face stayed contained to just before period the scalp acne that appeared after stoping taking dianette has got slowly out of control over the past 5 years.
It is now unbearable it’s so sore, it’s itchy to the point it stops me sleeping and I am starting to lose hair again which is what happened before. And it’s so greasy which means I’m washing it more.
I don’t want to go on accutane again that was the third time I took it and the side effects were horrendous. Also what derm’s going to see me at the mo.
It’s clearly hormonal so I was Googling hormonal treatments and this came up as being available again but just as an acne treatment not a bc.
My only slight hesitation is I felt it had a negative effect on my weight, anyone else find that. But it was so long ago I may be remembering it incorrectly.
I also noticed I must have had an incredibly low libido on it - anyone else notice this. I had thought I’d just really gone off BF (now DH). But the penny dropped afterwards stopping.
